Hi,
I got an ITA this weekend, and one of the required documents is an Upfront Medical Exam. I did an IME back in Aug. 2017 for a study permit extension application. I was reading that there is a Temporary public policy exempting some foreign nationals in Canada from requiring an immigration medical exam.

The policy puts the following conditions:
The temporary public policy is in effect until December 28, 2021, and applies to in-Canada foreign nationals who
Does this include new applicants as well (not submitted their eAPR yet)? I am a little bit confused.
Thanks.

The temporary public policy is in effect until December 28, 2021, and applies to in-Canada foreign nationals who
- have submitted a new application for permanent residence or for a permanent resident visa or have a pending application for permanent residence and have not yet completed a new immigration medical exam
- have completed an immigration medical exam within the last 5 years and were found to pose no risk to public health or safety, or complied with a requirement to report to public health authorities for monitoring, and
- have not left Canada for more than 6 months in the last year to live in a country that has a higher incidence of a serious communicable disease than Canada, as outlined in the list of countries requiring an immigration medical exam
Does this include new applicants as well (not submitted their eAPR yet)? I am a little bit confused.
Thanks.
